MSL Holy Spirit

Epistemic status: This is valid as an explanation of MSL, but it should be compared against the Bible at some point, and I'm not at a place in my process right now to do that.

There is a recognizable Father and Son (terms taken from the Bible) in MSL, in that, in legitimism, in order for God to be legitimate, part of him had to undergo a human life (being a finite being, unaware of the many things that God is necessarily always aware of at all times), if that was possible. It is possible, if Legitimacy comprises more than one person, if the entities that make things the way they are include one who could live a finite life. So we have the "Father" (who is also the Speaker and can be partially seen through the image of the Metaphysical Organism), and the "Son" (who can go and live a finite life and face the existential situations of finite personal beings, including death).

It's more or less as though MSL predicts the existence of both Father and Son for reasons that are core to its own functioning. One can certainly think that Legitimacy can include other beings, who also create with the rest of Legitimacy. There could be an arbitrarily large number of them. Among them could be some kind of Holy Spirit. But, there is no special need to assume that there are any of these additional beings, including the Holy Spirit.

Or, maybe I can think of one for the Spirit, which wouldn't necessarily predict any other beings.

When two persons overlap, we could say that they create a new person between them. We can see this in friendships and marriages, and other relationships. In fact, a relationship and a shared spirit may often be the same thing. So, when God relates to other persons, there is a third person who comes into being between them, which is both God and the other person, and in a sense is its own thing. We could call this the Holy Spirit.

Is the Holy Spirit a person? Yes and no. Relationships are impersonal phenomena but they are also just parts of persons that are working together. What are persons, if not parts of persons who work together? So relationships are persons, persons that have two bodies? But the Spirit is part of God (the Spirit of God), like a body part. The Father is a Spirit, and his Spirit is an extension of him. So the Spirit is one being, because the Father is aware of all of his relationships with all other beings. (One could say that persons need to be one being in order to be a person, but, the Father is that one being -- and yet the Holy Spirit doesn't perfectly reduce to him, because it is made up of our wills as well.)

Given all this, when the Father created the Son, the Spirit necessarily and automatically came into being between them. (Or, in keeping with orthodox Christianity, when the Father and Son eternally co-existed, the Spirit necessarily and automatically always existed between them.) God relates to all of us and thus the Spirit is everywhere, but his Spirit (he) can be much more deeply connected to us, depending on his unilateral action and our welcomingness (receptiveness, safeness) for him to come close to us in that way. So it makes sense to say that God sends his Spirit to people.

The more personal the Spirit is, the more it is just us relating to the Father, because all the Spirit is is the relationship between him and us. But the outer layers of a person are their powers, and when we do not know God as well, his Spirit is a taste of his power without connecting us to him as kin.
